Are you sure about this? The Company Health Plus is not on Quinns Homepage nor listed on their homepage products as far as I can see.
Definitely sure. The Health Insurance Authority state the following on [broken link removed]of their website:
"Important: Company plans are available to all regardless of whether the consumer is an employee of a company or not."
It's part of the [broken link removed]provisions of the Health Insurance Acts.
Despite this though, health insurers aren't obliged to openly advertise these company plans, so it's harder to find information on them when compared to the "mainstream" plans.
Quinn have information about their company plans
here, in their For Employers section. Quinn allow you to get a price and/or join the same way as any other plan, using the buttons on the right.
Hibernian have information about most of their company and tailored plans
here. However, it doesn't appear to be possible to get a quote or join on-line. From my own experience last year, they are very hesitant to give the information out unless they know exactly who is getting it (which shouldn't make any difference).
VHI are the worst of the three by only having the rule book of their Company Plans on their website,
here. However, to know what each company plan covers, you need to read it in conjunction with the table of benefits for each plan, which Vhi don't have on their website. And similar to Hibernian, you can't get a quote or join on-line. In their defence thought, VHI will email this information with no fuss if you ask, but if you don't know about the plans, you're not likely to ask.
The HIA list the monthly adults costs of each of the plans, but the child or student costs aren't included which makes it harder for families for compare costs.
Sorry for the long post, but this is a pet peeve of mine. The company/tailored plans on offer can offer good value compared to the mainstream plans but it's really against the spirit of open enrolment that they are not openly promoted and marketed. I've made a complaint to the HIA about this, but their response was that they're not in a position to enforce this.
